Letters Patent No. 70,146, dated October 22, 1867.

IMPROVED IRONING-TABLE.

, TOALL WI'IOM IT MAY CONCERN:

lused the board can be removed and the basket closed, as indicated bythe dotted lines K, iig.

Be it known that I, A. T. WOOLSEY, of Sandusky, in the county of Erie,and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful improvementsninIroning-Tables; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full andcomplete description of the same, reference being had to theaccompanying drawings, making apart of this specification, in which-Figure 1 is a perspective view.

Figure 2 is a detached section that will be referred to in thedescription.

Like letters of reference refer to like parts inthe views.

This table consists of the rack A, or baskctand ironing-board B. Thisbasket is constructed in the following manner: D are standards.`Extending from one end of this raek te the other is the cross-piece C,pivoted at c: to the standards, as shown. Secured to these standardsnear the top are the side pieces or boards D D, one on each side.Connected to and passing through the piecesl C D D, in the manner shownin the drawing, is the cordd, thus forming a basket for holding theclothes. On the top of the standards are'placed the boards or strips' aa), one at each end. These strips hold the basket Afirm and steady whileusing the board, and are also for the'board to rest upon. The said boardB is pivoted to the strip a', as shown a in iig. 2, which is an underside view of the board and strip. I is the handle of the board, in whichare cut one or more grooves, e c. This is for the cord Z te catch in,and thus support the opposite end of the board, which -may be raisedmore or less, as desired. The board is pivoted to the strip a', `asstated, so as to allow it to bc turned round to or from the personironing, or o' from `the basket for thepurpose of taking out or puttingclothes in the basket.

The basket is also convenient in ironing anything large, as skirts, tohold them while being iro-ned, and thus prevent them from brushing onthe iloor and getting dusted and stepped on. When the table is not to be1, thus taking up very little room, and making a very convenientironing-board and basket.

What I claim as my improvement, and desire to secure by Letters Patent,is`

The standards B', cross-bar C, and cord E, in combination with the boardB, having a horizontal and vertical adjustment, substantially as and forthe purpose set forth.
